Rookie W.R'S that you wanted us to draft

and how they are doing now.

WR'S

My number one guys was Damian Williams...alot of others wrote him off because he's a Former Trojan like Jarrett and Colbert.

He's only played in 2 games because of a hamstring injury but looks to have won the kick returning and Punt return job for the Titans. Also has 6 catches for 55 yards right now...Granted he went 1 pick before we got Lafell so I can't be too upset we didn't get him...I'm not writing Lafell off either, so I'll pay close attention to how these 2 players careers go.

Golden Tate...From what I can find hes buried on the depth chart in seattle.

Did have a nice 41 yard grab from Whitehurst in their last game (the only one he's played in)..Hawk you can fill us in a lil more on him? thanx

Arellious Benn...I never wanted this guy at all personally but I know alot of other Huddlers did...anyway he's got 1 catch for 16 yards, meanwhile the 4th round Mike Williams seems to be doing some big things down there as mentioned in another thread I believe

Mardy Gilyard...looks like he will win the kr and punt return duties in St. Louis.

read that he dropped alot of balls early in camp and is having some troubles learning the playbook...Meat, come tell us more please

Jordan Shipley...Got Antoino Bryan kicked off the Bengals sqaud. Has 11 catches so far and supposedly quite impressive

Eric Decker...Never saw the fasicination with this guy... without digging to deep all I could find on him was that he had a good game against the lions, getting 66 yards off of five catches..Not a starter tho even with Marshall gone

Demaryius Thomas-almost forgot about this guy, and truthfully he wasn't even in our range but alot of people on here dreamed about getting him...

Anyway he's been bitten by the injury bug and hasn't had the chance to showcase himself.

Taylor Price...We scouted him hard as hell according to media reports...and may have a chance to claim him off waivers for tha pats? Maybe we dodged a bullet there

Dezmon Briscoe(Kansas)...Trying to make the bengals sqaud and probably will...just buried on the depth chart

Carlton Mitchell...The burner outta South Florida...only 2 catches so far, but then again Jakes his QB

Those were the most mentioned or popular names on here before the draft.

only 4 having a pre-season worth mentioning

Gilyard-Armanti better prove of the long term hes better than this guy

Damian Williams-1 pick before Lafell, couldn't have grabbed him and Clausen

Shipley...Ricky Prohel 2.0? Way to early for that kinda talk

Mike Williams..He's stuck with the Bucs

Well I wanted Steve Smith not Jarrett.

Golden Tate not Clausen.

Jordan Shipley not Edwards.

All because none of these guys were projects. They all could come in and play there role. No waiting required.

But then again I wanted Addi over Williams

and I wanted Otah in place of Stewart.

Why don't we go back through our drafts of the last decade or so and point out who we wish the Panthers had taken? It seems just as relevant.

I wanted some of those receivers too, guys, but bitching about it isn't going to bring them here.

I don't know who you think is bitching but I thought some may find it interesting to see what the other guys are doing...If anything these updates should make you feel better since none of them are setting the world on fire.

Have watched a lot of Shipley. He was Colt's best weapon at Texas and will be a beast in the slot for Palmer this year.

I thought Tate and Gilyard would be doing better. Honestly I never thought LaFelle would fall to us.

Rookie receiver of the year is going to be Mike Williams. Followed by Dez Bryant and and Jordan Shipley.

Oh by the way Victor Cruz a long with having the coolest name ever is going to be a good player.

    • You are right--it was DC.  I remember talking to him at Belk in Albemarle one day--the Panthers were on a bye and they were (at the time) a disapointing 4-4.  I mentioned that the record was disappointing and he seemed to get a bit annoyed.  He dId not say anything.  I trying to suggest that we will get better, but I think he was pretty upset about it.  No hard feelings, but the man was simply trying to shop with his wife and this annoying jerk starts making comments about his job---I get it.  I apologized, telling him that I was trying to be supportive and not critical--he did not think it was a big deal.  I'd see him at events from time to time-he'd wave or say hi, but it was awkward for me.  Figured I would say something stupid.  Jordan was pretty popular--nothing like she seems to be now--she is holding her own in a man's world...proud of her.
    • Like we have had the last 3 years.
    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.
